Out of date? Oil lies under the earth's crust for millions of

We used to have to re-lube the bearings on blowers every year. The
grease had a shelf life of 6 months -- but was good for 12 in the
elevated temperature in the blower. We never had problems using it
/well/ past it's expiry date -- probably a sales gimmick.

In the aerospace industry, it was more a case of covering your back :-(
